"Hello, world!"

Initiation

You're viewing the wiki page of one Anatia Landis, former adventurer outside the plaguelands, now trapped just like the rest of you. She stares at you with a cold glimmer in her eyes, before barking, "Listen up, newbie. This page is a list of the guides I have written for the benefit of players just like yourself, and I'm going to make absolutely sure, without a shadow of a doubt, that these guides are as informative as possible. And THAT means that I am going to demand that you read these guides as if they were missives from your own mother in a war-torn battlefield. Do you understand me? DO YOU!"

Anatia's Guide to Infections

Alright. So, you may be wondering, what are all these 'infections' to which people keep referring? How am 'I' still infected? How do I avoid them, and what can I do to avoid them in the future? Well, I'll be able to answer at least a handful of your questions right here and now.

IC Introduction

Let's start with the basics. When you entered the wasteland, you certainly felt faint. Everything started spinning. You may have tasted colours, heard smells, and (if you had an MP3 player in your ears) been pleasured by sound. All these are normal results of the wasteland's infection which you, my good sir and/or madam, currently have. The nanites in the Wasteland do that - they take a snapshot of your current body, and adjust based on whichever instance they find as 'best', based around a wide variety of protocol. But that's not important. What you're asking is, 'Am I still human?' And the answer is... 'yes and no'. If you can read this page, then in my opinion, you're still human, able to think, reason, and take action based on your own initiative. The downside is that you'll display feral traits, which have been widely illustrated. You may acquire a taste for sex of one type or another; or you may simply be a ravenous, hungry beast intent on pursuing its fellows based off the information you've been given.

I'm going to bet upon the former.

In any event. You're here looking for information on what infections are, do, and can be acquired, and I'm here to help. At least... until I get out of here.

Infection Information

Once you've connected to Flexible Survival, either through the website, or through some third-party piece of software, please create your character. The scope of this is outside the range of this document, but chargen alone is fairly well-documented in general. If you have issues with chargen, then the wiki, website, and even 'help' in-game will be able to assist you with your concern.

But, of course, that's not why you're on this page: you want to learn about Infections.

Infections are effectively small mutations which occur upon one body part or another. When a body part is infected - say, Arms, Chest, Torso, Groin, et cetera - then the player character's appearance will shift to fit that mutation. How thoroughly you've been infected by any given strain - and how significantly - can be viewed with the '+mut' command - for example, '+mut me' or +mut anatia'. Eventually, a character's whole body can be infected with a given strain, which results in 'Mastery' of the form... but see below for information on that.

When a new player is created, they have Human as their primary state for all of their limbs. (You can check this with '+mut me'.)

Infection happens in the following cases, from least likely to most...

• The player has been assaulted by an NPC which is infected with a given strain. Each attack carries with it a chance of infection.
• The player has been defeated by that strain of foe.
• The player has used an item which infects them with this strain of virus. The most common form of this is 'Infection Vials', which we'll be getting into, later.
• The player has been infected by a trusted partner in roleplay, through a variety of methods (item use, sex, coyote.)
• The player willingly or unwillingly partakes in sex with that strain, which still requires agreement. This requires a Mako item known as 'Infectious [X]', where X is Womb, Cock, or others.
• The player attacks a boss foe.
• The player has been infected by a piece of equipment. [Rarely.]
